arm64: errata: add module build workaround for erratum #843419

commit df057cc7 upstream.

Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can
lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences
headed by an ADRP instruction.

There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but
this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF
objects.

This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled,
builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute
addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as
a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the
module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.

This option builds kernel modules using the large memory model in
order to avoid the use of the ADRP instruction, which can cause
a subsequent memory access to use an incorrect address on Cortex-A53
parts up to r0p4.
Note that the kernel itself must be linked with a version of ld
which fixes potentially affected ADRP instructions through the
use of veneers.
If unsure, say Y.
